MIGRAINE HINTERLANDS

the plum trees

mad canopy

e x p l o d e s  

across the northern sky

& the lawns a green 

i have never seen

~

now i sweat blood

only just

this side 

of proverbial

when i try to think 

HIFI INCLUSION

listening
to
excellent music

makes me excellent too

&

i am included now
when my appetites 

had hit the wall

MAGRITTE FIST

now the day is unday

cant-think chunk-blocks

like thick glass walls

& no flow - zenless

cos something bad happened

&

you

are

uncoping / clunky

in

the

wretched immediacy

of

its

magritte fist

EGGSHELL CHILDREN

 

i saved a snail

i saw struggling

on the hot cement 

&

wished
it
was
all the eggshell children
of

the

dangerous

world

but what can a poor boy do

but listen to a rock n roll band ?

TO PARAPHRASE DYLAN THOMAS A BIT

we do go gently 

into 

an anticyclonic gloom

straw grass 

razed to stubble

inside the electric tether

~

meteors & rage 

forked diluted

by bluelight nightlife

& frail deeds 

forgotten drown

in the greenwashed bay

BIG ISSUES

 

make me feel

all

dumb
numb
&

down-low backwoods crazy 

like on the edge of panic

but in a valium bath

SAM BROWNE STYLE (TV FRAG POP)

shoulder bag

 & belted raincoat

tugged snug

 sam browne style

 

about the waist of the spy

MORNING REPORT 105

autumn memories

are layered up in me

like an onion

& the late sun

like knives

will dice it

into an album 

of dusk cafes

& numb commutes
